'This is a terrorist state and we should treat Russia as a terrorist state,' Ambassador Oksana Markarova said in an interview Sunday.
WASHINGTON - Ukraine's envoy to the United States on Sunday called on President Joe Biden's administration to impose tougher sanctions on Moscow and to step up arms supplies to Kyiv, saying Russia should be treated "as a terrorist state."
Markarova spoke as Ukraine and Russia blamed each other for the collapse of the second attempt in as many days to evacuate civilians from the city of Mariupol, which has been under heavy Russian bombardment. "We are thankful for the sanctions that have been implemented by the United States," she said. "But since Russia is not changing their behavior, they escalated actually, they are killing us more and more, the sanctions should toughen up."
Halting Russia's invasion is vital to preventing the conflict from spreading beyond Ukraine, Markarova said.
